a GRANT ANECDOTE.
How the Silent General Was Amused by
nm Iowa Topper.


General Grant was rarely known to
smile, and the occasions were few indeed
when his dignity so far broke down as to
permit him TO laugh outright-though he
was far from being devoid of a relish for a
good story or joke. There was one time in
hislife. however, says the Chicago Trjb,me,
when he indulgei in roar of laughter that
might have been heard for quarter Of a
mile. 1t was while he was filling the Presi-
Dental chair und made his trip to Des
Moines, Ia, and delivered the famous
speech on education. lie had been in st.

O'Clock at night. \ crowd had assembled,

sionS, and had therefore risen to the emer-
gencV, and was in condition on the ar
rival of the Presidential party to hobnoh

tion for several minutes, and in response
to cheers President Grant appeared Oh the
platform and lifted his hat in stiff, school
boy fashion. The old topper looked at him
with blinking eyes, and then deliberately
Clambered up on the platform, steadied
himself by the railing, and deliberately
thrGst his face close to the sphinx like
countenance before him. There was
dead silence, the audacity of the
act causing the townspeople to stare In
dumb amazement, while the few persons
surrounding Grant We're equally astound-
ed For moment the drunken man
swaved and stared, and then said;
"lsh lis Presh'dunt Grant,"
The features of the hero of Appomattox
relaxed little us he nodded atlirmatively.
"Come, now, homes, pardner," persist
Ell the topper. "Shay, OF man, " amt

The scene was cut short by the town

trader to the cround but it had such an
nexpressible funny side that the ''sient

which those around him joined as the
train moved away.

BEGGING FOR STAMPS.
A New York Dead-Beat Tells His Mod

A New York Dead-Beat Tells His Mode
| OF Getting n Livelihood.
There was a young man stopping at q
/ West side lodging house until recently
who, according TO the New York Nail and
| Express, paid for his bed every night with
postage stamps. He had practiced this
about a week or more when the proprietor
grew suspicious. With view to finding
out Just where the fellow got the stamps,
the hotel man had him watched and dis
covered that hi lodger not only paid for
his bed with the little brown squares, but
that he ate at several restaurants where
the proprietors accepted the stamps
In payment. After watching
his lodger for several days,
and discovering nothing that could explain
his possession of so many postage stamps,
the hotel man refused one night to accept
them in payment for u bed unless the man
could satisfy him that they were not
stolen. The lodger demurred for awhile,
and refused to talk about the matter.
Then the hotel mau threatened to hand
him over to the police, whereupon the
lodger, after swearing his landlord to Sc.
crecy, said:

Everybody has heard of u "horse laugh"
but who has ever seen an equine gifted with
the power of spccchi Such an animal would

Gently a cure for consumption would have
been looked upon as miraculous, but now
people are beginning to realize that the dis

Electric Angling.

Float-fishinG, the old-faShioned country
sort Of angling, is now being reduced to a
hollow mockery by the aid of electricity.
"An arrangement has been devised" says
the Electrician, "by which a pull on the
line closes the circuit of tiny battery
carried in the base of the rod, and this is
made to either sound an alarm or to gently
tickle the hand of the fisherman as he
graSps the butt. Nothing now binders the
sportsman from going to sleep" Float
fishing is evidently the thing for the peo-
pie who like to carry a big can of bait"
The Brookhaven leader., 1887-09-29

Wheat is never shipped in bulk, but al
ways in bags. as when loaded in bulk it is
aboat the most dangerous cargo a ship can
carry. No matter how lightly it may be
packed at first, il settles considerably
within Il short time, and then is very
liable to shift. When shifting takes place
a ship is as good as lost, as the change in
tie center of gravity throws her on her
beam ends, and she is nearly certain to go
to the bottom in the first moderate gale.
Many ships were lost in this way, and now
the shipment OF grain in bulk is prohibited
by law.
